What a lovely website, I'm sure Thomas would be so grateful and proud of what you both achieved. Our little girl was stillborn on the 30th Dec 06. We're still in shock but your website has helped my thoughts and fears.

Take care, Nadia x

Hiya all, oh my lord, wot a site u have. I came across it looking for the poem "in a baby castle" and couldn't stop reading, crying and even a little smiling. We have 3 little angels, 2 boys and 1 girl and I think of them every day although I have a living child who is the eldest. My babies are still that and I love them all soooooo much and always will.

You have given me strength to get through another day via your site and for that I am grateful. I feel so priveledged to have been able to visit with you and your family for a little while and view such strong emotion that in a lot of ways I am scared to face myself. My living son is now 23 but I always feel the loss of my angels.

For you and all your children we send love and thanks ( and a hug for u all) GOD BLESS

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful little boy. Congratulations on a lovely little girl, the pictures are beautiful. x

We too have lost a baby boy, Noah Michael. His heart stopped at 23 weeks on 1/13/07. We held him and took pictures with him and still treasure every moment with him.

I was very touched by your site. I was searching for the words for Wonderful Baby but thought it was Beautiful baby. I sang this song to my beautiful boy over 30 years ago and still love it. I doubt he remembers it! I got so much more than I was looking for!

Thinkling of you today Thomas, it is the 1st of march, but could so easily have been the 29th of February. My family thank you Thomas, you and your mummy have helped us face a grief which we had not dealt with, sweetheart, your mummy loves you very much you must be so proud of her

With love Alison, George's mummy xx

Hi my name is Marjorie,

I was affected by acute fatty liver of pregnancy. My waters broke at 37 weeks, on April 2005. This saved my life and one of my sons’ life… Sadly, because it wasn’t diagnosed during the pregnancy (though I did complain), both my sons had a cardiac arrest while I was being monitored. But because Micah was the smallest one, he had his first and was left longer without oxygen. I was taken to theater for an emergency C under general. Both boys were resuscitated… Micah’s brain damages were too important and he died 6 days later, and Sasha has developmental delay… I am fine now: miraculous recovery they called it!

We are now trying for baby number 3… We miss Micah everyday. And because I don’t want his death to be in vain, I am created a website for AFLP. And a forum for people who want to get together… My ultimate goal though is to take it to a preventive level… Reach the medical staff for early detection and expecting families… My husband and I hope that with time we will feel less raw about Micah not being with us... Time will tell.

I love your website and hope time is a healer for you too.

My first granchild Abbie Grace Smollens was born stillborn on 11 August 2003. Her mum was so brave and brought her home as she was so proud of her. I was so proud of my daughter Lauren she had the strength to do what I never could have done. To this day I will never forget the time we shared before her funeral.

With all my love Nan x x x

My best friend's baby just died, only three days old. I searched everywhere on the net for a poem to read at his funeral and found wonderful ones on your site. I had hoped to find helpful words for my friend, but found comfort for myself as well as I was reading them.

Thank you so much.

I don't know you personally and only came to be here by clicking your link on another website. I just wanted to say how very brave you are and how awful it must have been for you to lose your son Thomas. I am also very pleased to read that you now have a beautiful little girl. I had tears in my eyes reading your journal but, what a beautiful memory to him.

I cried reading your journey through Thomas' short life.. what a terrible thing to have to go through, my thoughts are with you.

I just read your Thomas's story how sad. I am now 26 weeks prgnant and just thought i'd look into what can happen. I'm sure little Thomas is looking down on you and wouldn't want you to be sad.

All my love Hannahxx

I am so touched by this. Baby Thomas's site. I just had to tell you.It is beautiful and gives him the recognition and status in the world that he has every right to.

Many Blessings to you.x

I was so touched by your story and just wanted to send you this poem that I wrote when I lost my baby at 14 week gestation.

Nature Can Be So Cruel.

It hurts to think of what might have been,
I wish you were here, but you'll never be seen,
It breaks my heart that you were taken away,
But I have my memories, they'll always stay,
If you had of lived i'd have loved you so,
What your life would have been, we'll never know,
I'll lways grieve my baby for you,
Nature can be so very cruel.

Good luck to you and your family in the future, Thomas' baby sister is beautiful. xx

My heart aches for you and your family... Losing a baby is something I would never wish on my worst enemy. God Bless you and the soul of that little angel in Heaven.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I found this site searching for poem to read at the funeral of my Grandaughter Georgia, which will take place this Thursday (10/05/07). She was stillborn last week, at 24 weeks gestation. I was at her birth and had the honour of holding her and kissing her tiny cheeks. I have chosen one of the poems you have shared & wanted to thank you.

A beautiful site, came across it by accident and spent ages reading all the poems and messages. It was a great help to me and i'm sure it will be to many others. Thank you for sharing it.

Hi Darling Vicky, Everytime I look at this site to see how you are doing and read your lovely poems I start to cry again. I want you to know that not all people around you expect you to forget Thomas now you have Milly. I still think about him and wonder how you and Mags are. You are such a beautiful person, I love you dearly and WILL see you, Mags and Milly soon.

Always with my love, Katy xxx

What a beautiful tribute you have created for your precious baby boy. Congratulations on the birth of his lovely sister!!!! You two look like amazing parents. Take care...

Your collection of poems are wonderful, it broke my dam of tears that have been building for the past 3 days "The longest I went without crying". My daughter Kaci Anastasia was born on April 29 2007 2 days before her due date, she was born "stillborn" I try not to use that hideous word although I know that it will forever follow me through out my lfe. You should add the lyrics from the song "My name" by George Canyon and "My l'il girl" by Tim Mcgraw, we played the latter at her furneral.

A wonderful tribute to your son, though having never lost a child I can not imagine your pain, my son was born early and had a many health problems. He is now 11 and grows stronger. Made me extremely grateful for him and appreciate what I have. Not being able to have other children was a blow. But I have him and for that I am grateful. Bless you and yours

Your baby boy Thomas is very gorgeous. You are such a sweet and loving Mommy. The day and year you found out you were pregnant with your son was the day I gave birth to Lilike. But Lilike was sick the day she was born so I did not get to spend much time with her. Because an hour after her birth she was cool and needed 23-28% oxygen for fluid on the lungs in a humidicrib overnight and and an iv antibiotics for a very high white cell count. I just recently had a miscarriage in 2007 after giving birth to the most healthy baby boy. It was heartbreaking. I never had a miscarriage before.

I'm really sorry to hear about your son, the same thing happened to me so I know the pain that it causes. Just carry on being strong and I hope u have another in future xx

Vicky, Your website is just stunning and such a lovely tribute to your little boy. The tears are streaming down my face as I read about Thomas and I am so sorry that you had to say goodbye to him. I can relate to so many of your feelings, after having lost our daughter in much the same way and my heart goes out to you and your husband xxx

Much love to you and your family and special kisses to Thomas xxx Lisa x

Wow! What an amazing site! We lost our little angel on April 8, 2007. Our angel Alyssa was born still at 40 weeks gestation (four days shy of my scheduled c-section). It has been almost 5 months and I feel like it is getting harder, not easier. I visit her EVERY DAY! I am consuming myself with planning a foundation dance for her first birthday! Your letter to parents has lifted me a little tonight and I needed to thank you! Thaomas has a wonderful mommy and daddy!

All my love, Michele

Hello, Ive read your story and i'm very, very sorry. I had the funeral for my baby girl today (Maia -Belle) who was born still on the 30th September 07, and died at 21 weeks. It's such a horrible thing to have to deal with, and I can't understand how life can be so cruel. Especially for you and myself and many others, who i'm sure would have done anything for their baby. I hope we can all get better and learn to live with our losses. xxx

I just want to say how happy I am that you managed to have a beautiful baby girl. It will never replace your losses, but she is an angel to help you get through the hard times. I hope one day I too, can have a baby to hold in years to come. xxxxxx

Just want to say thankyou. Your website led me to SANDs and all the other beautiful websites that are helping me through this time. My baby Maia is very grateful, I bet. Thankyou so much. Your little Thomas has helped another person xxxxxxxx

Such a wonderful website, thank you for sharing it.

I just happened upon your site while looking for images to include in a book about my beloved mother, whom I lost to breast cancer on Thursday, November 1 at 7:50 a.m.

I am very touched by your love for Thomas and can feel your pain and joy as you write through the years. I hope you and your family are comforted in the knowing that Thomas will always be with you - he is indeed your wee-man!

God bless your family. Diane

I was heartbroken to read about the passing of your beloved Thomas and all of the difficult pregnancies you've endured. I am thrilled beyond belief that you have your precious baby Milly. She is a beauty for sure!

Best wishes to you and your family!

Such a beautiful tribute to your son. Like you I too have lost my precious baby boy three weeks ago on the 9th nov 2007, I was 33 weeks pregnant and he weighed 3lbs 8ozs. It's still early days for me and my husband but we find other people in similar situations helpful and supportive. Your site has helped us so much.

Thomas, you are a very special little boy and mummy WILL get to hold you one day. I wish you a very happy Christmas and I hope you have made lots of friends where you are and for your Mummy and Daddy. Big hugs to you both at what must be a very difficult time of year. In my thoughts. Best wishes Andrea x

Merry Christmas,Thomas! Thinking of you with lots of love today and always.

I so much appreciated your web site for your baby. People say time heals all wounds. I lost twin girls in 1974, 21 weeks gestation, no reason known. I still miss my girls. I lost a 15 month old son to an accident in 1971. But I raised two other boys to healthy adulthood, and I can say that while the wound has not healed, it is only a sharp pain sometimes now and just a gentle ache I have learned to live with the rest of the time. However, grandchildren have made all the difference.

My granddaughter fills that empty space in my heart to overflowing, and I swear, the four year old boy, (out of three grandsons) looks like Wayne would have looked and if Wayne were still here we'd all be saying Wyatt sure takes after his uncle Wayne. So I guess it might take a lot of life but we can survive the death of a child. The first two years I didn't think I could. If I had know how good grandchildren were going to be I'd have had more kids.

Also one practical point, when my daughter in law was expecting the 7 yr old, she felt uneasy the last week, the baby was just coming due and she kept wanting to go to the hospital, they wanted to send her home, I took a stand with the doctor and we convinced him to induce the baby the first day it was an option, well the baby had the cord wrapped around his neck and wouldn't have survived another week in vitro the older he got the tighter the cord got. The dr said it's lucky we did induce. I think all women should be told, if the mother thinks something is wrong, there probably is. I noticed in a lot of the stillbirth stories, the mother thought something was wrong and the dr didn't listen, thank you for your beautiful website, peace to you and your family.
